BCL27*389800-GT Molecular

Alabama Department of Public Health's Bureau of Clinical Laboratories is soliciting quotes under BCL27*389800-GT Molecular for three GT-Digital Flu, SC2, RSV, and BCoV WW Surveillance Panels for the QX600 and two GT-Digital MeV WT Wastewater Surveillance Assays for the Bio-Rad QX200 or QX600, with quotes due October 27, 2026. The products are specified by name, and the solicitation states "No substitutions or alternatives will be accepted," so the buy requires these exact assays and panels for the bureau's Mobile division.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform before the close date and time. Pricing must include all shipping to 757 Museum Drive, Mobile, Alabama 36608. Items must be available to ship within 10 days after receipt of the purchase order. The bureau states that the shipping timeframe is critical, that a missed timeframe makes the purchase order subject to cancellation, and that it will confirm shipping capability before award. The Alabama Department of Public Health reserves the right not to award based on budget restrictions.

The solicitation runs under the Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer's Quick Quotes standard terms. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement up to a total contract cost of $25,000 or a maximum period of five years from the effective date. The Chief Procurement Officer may conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Suppliers must register foreign entities with the Alabama Secretary of State, enroll in E-Verify if employing workers in Alabama, complete the Disclosure Statement for contracts exceeding $25,000, and certify compliance with Alabama sales tax collection and remittance requirements. The state is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers. The state may cancel for convenience with reasonable notice, and disputes go to negotiation and then non-binding alternative dispute resolution in Montgomery, Alabama.
